EV vs gas calculator

Is an EV cheaper to fuel than a gas car?

Compare home charging with gasoline using your electricity price, EV efficiency, gas price, MPG, and monthly driving.

EV cost includes charging losses. Gas cost = miles ÷ MPG × gasoline price. This compares energy/fuel only.

For the EV

Use the rate you actually charge at.

If you have time-of-use electricity pricing, enter your overnight or charging-period price rather than a general household average.

For the gas car

Use real MPG if you have it.

Dashboard or trip-computer fuel economy usually gives a more relevant comparison than a generic MPG assumption.
